ATF Offers $10,000 Rewards In Two Seperate Homicides

ST. PAUL (Minn.) — Special Agent in
Charge Bernard J. Zapor of the St. Paul Field Division, Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and Chief Timothy Dolan, Minneapolis
Police Department, today announced it is offering individual rewards of up to
$10,000 for information leading to the arrest and convictions of those
responsible for two homicides involving young children in Minneapolis.

“This is an extraordinary expansion of
the criminal use of firearms. The loss of a child is a casualty beyond anyone’s
tolerance,” Zapor said. “There can be no higher priority than resolution for
these families.”

The first unsolved homicide occurred
Dec. 26, at approximately 6:45 p.m., at a single–family residence located at
2644 Colfax Ave. North, Minneapolis. An unknown individual(s) shot a bullet
through the residence killing Terrell Lamont Mayes, Jr, 3. ATF is seeking the
public’s help in identifying the suspects involved in both of these unrelated
incidents and for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

The second unsolved and unrelated
homicide occurred June 26, at approximately 8:34 a.m., at a single–family
residence located at 4515 Bryant Ave. North, Minneapolis. An unknown
individual(s) shot several bullets into the residence fatally striking five–year–old
Nizzel Anthony George. ATF is offering a separate reward of up to $10,000 for
information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.

Investigators are asking anyone with
information about these crimes to contact the Minneapolis Police Department
Homicide at (612) 673–2941 or the Minneapolis Police Tips Line at (612)
692–TIPS (8477). All calls will be kept confidential.
